JoMo Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 It'll probably be rain after a bit of snow/sleet mixture. Timing issues though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

natecast Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 Surprise snow here in OKC! Drove to work with big, fluffy snowflakes falling to the ground. We've got a dusting to about a quarter inch of snow so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've got a dusting to about a quarter inch of snow so far. This tweet just popped up in my feed. I am surprised there isn't a WWA for the OKC area based on radar returns. Heavy snowfall, Kilpatrick TPK. Roadway wet with areas of snow covere. Drive with caution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Srain Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 Nice band of moderate to heavy snow for you folks across Central/Eastern Oklahoma. I wouldn't be surprised to see areas into NW Arkansas/Southern Missouri get in on the action as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NwWhiteOut Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 Is snowing about 3.5 miles southeast here of where I live lol, go figure. It seemed like a snow/sleet mix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoMo Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 Flurries here. Looks like a heavier band SE of here, Monett may get that if it holds together, also NW Arkansas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wx 24/7 Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 We have had flurries on and off for an hour now. Heavier band should move through soon. Edit: Well... Wound up with a dusting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoWeatherguy Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 And SE MO ends up with another nice 2-4 inch snow tonite. I guess the rich get richer in this pattern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowman99 Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 Some places just south of st louis have gotten 5-6 inches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the next storm system will probably pass to our northwest and we'll get slop, followed by rain followed by flurries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Waterboy Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 I actually ended up with about 1/2 inch today. Better than nothing. Not look promising over the next week for anything else though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FSMweather Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 We got 3.5-4.0 inches from the big system the other day .Today's system brought some more snow, but probably less than half a inch with some freezing rain earlier during the morning. I'm really glad winter is starting out with a bang here. Hope you guys get in on it as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wx 24/7 Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 I do think we will see some snow to start this next system and to wind it up with as it pulls out. I don't know that we will see huge accumulation, but it still could be more than some of us have seen so far this winter... especially north of I-44. I still have some concern about ice even though the models aren't really impressive with the warmer temps in the upper levels yet. We will see what adjustments they make in the coming runs. All in all... even if it just turns out to be primarily a rain event... that will be beneficial for our region, as we remain very dry. Edit: I am not meaning to criticize... not my job at all, but has anyone else noticed some major discrepancies between forecasts/forecasters from SGF lately? It seems like they have been all over the board. For example, yesterday's freezing rain advisory for practically nothing and then no winter weather advisory for parts of the southern CWA from yesterday afternoon's snow even though roads were becoming tricky east of US 65? Not trying to start a bash fest or anything. It just seems odd... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think thats why I primarily made an account here back in the day and on the previous website before this one. We got some really knowlegable people here and meteorologists on this board! Plus its always fun interacting with everyone here as well. So yep isnt nothing out of the norm for up this way when it comes to springfields forecasts, so far they are 0-2 up this way lol. Not trying to bash either but it is what it is and I just say it as I see it. They got the best job in the world, can get paid to be wrong and get away with it! I do understand though that sometimes these storms can be impossible to nail down cause of all the other factors involved that the models dont get right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoMo Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 I rarely view the NWS forecasts. They do an ok job. Couple of recent blown calls though. The 12z GFS/Euro are a bit colder and farther south with the New Years event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoWeatherguy Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 Anybody have the 12z Euro output for Monday for SGF? Precip total and temps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Waterboy Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 I think the bigger surprise to me regarding the NWS forecast from both Springfield and Tulsa was that they never jumped ship once the models continued to trend south. It became apparent early Christmas morning that the models had a good grasp on the track and they still insisted that as long as you were south of 1-44 snow was still likely. Our local mets in NWA bounced around a bunch 1-2 prior but once the tracks started showing south they finally bailed on the idea that NWA and northward would see much, if any.

jcwxguy Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 back up to .35" from 12z euro for me 18z gfs is looking good as well. .32" 18nam = almost .50" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoMo Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 *scratches head*..... From my forecast..... "Periods of rain and snow before noon, then periods of snow between noon and 3pm, then periods of rain and snow after 3pm" So apparently it's going to be rain and snow in the morning... then for some reason it's going to switch to all snow between noon and 3 PM, then it's going to go back to rain and snow after 3 pm?
